    running on the remote host.  As such, it is reportedly affected by
    multiple vulnerabilities :
    
      - Non-standard HTTP methods are allowed. (PK73246)
    
      - If the admin console is directly accessed from HTTP,
        the console fails to redirect the connection to a
        secure login page. (PK77010)
    
      - An error in Single Sign-on (SSO) with SPNEGO 
        implementation could allow a remote attacker
        to bypass security restrictions. (PK77465)
    
      - 'wsadmin' is affected by a security exposure. 
        (PK77495)  
    
      - Security flag 'isSecurityEnabled' is incorrectly set
        after migrating from VMM. (PK78134)
    
      - Use of insecure password obfuscation algorithm by Web
        services could result in weaker than expected security
        provided the client module specifies a password in 
        ibm-webservicesclient-bind.xmi and target environment 
        has custom password encryption enabled. (PK79275)
    
      - After upgrading from WebSphere Application Server V6.1 
        to V7.0 with tracing enabled, an attacker may be able
        view sensitive information by viewing the trace files.
        (PK80337)  
    
      - If CSIv2 Security is configured with Identity 
        Assertion, it may be possible for a remote
        attacker to bypass security restrictions. (PK83097)
    
      - New applications deployed in WebSphere Application 
        Server for z/OS prior to 1.8 are saved on the file
        system with insecure privileges resulting in
        disclosure of sensitive information. (PK83308)
    
      - Configservice APIs could display sensitive information.
        (PK84999)
    
      - Vulnerabilities in Apache HTTP server could allow a
        local user to gain elevated privileges. (PK86232)
    
      - A error in 'wsadmin' could allow a remote attacker
        to bypass security restrictions. (PK86328)
       
      - A vulnerability in portlet serving enable parameter
        could allow an attacker to bypass security restrictions
        and gain unauthorized access to the application.
